Animal Spirit Cards

Posted onJanuary 14, 2019June 29, 2019Leave a comment

I’ve been interested in animal spirits (also known as : spirit guides, animal totems, power animals) for a few years. I read about animal cards, like tarot but yet different, and how one can create her/his own deck based on what those animals say to him/her. This is my slow attempt at creating my own deck. Images will be added Read More …

Title: The Lady’s Crownbearer

Release Date: 2023-12-01

Summary: It’s like Christmas and May Day fused together in this cozy fantasy adventure short story. As the finishing winds blow and the weather turns colder, Kilahym the bard arrives at his hometown to perform for the Day of Laphrim celebration. His friend and peer, Ansgar, is there to make sure everything goes according to plan—but Ansgar has a nose for trouble. Amidst the scent of honeyed nuts and revelers weaving ribbons around a tree, a plot is afoot. When Kilahym’s performance doesn’t go as planned, Ansgar seizes the moment and leads him in pursuit of a legendary creature. Will they find something magical in the forest, or will something find them instead? Step into the world of Etherea in a winter holiday short story set before the events of the novel Trials of the Innermost. Readers of the Etherea Cycle will see the character Kilahym before he was chosen for the Trials, and the loveable rogue Ansgar. This winter fantasy adventure is packed with sass, charm, and magic. If you enjoy the cozy feel of Legends and Lattes, and the winter holiday vibes in The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe then this story is for you!

We went on a nature walk with our little explorer. We went on a nature walk with our little explorer. He was “making holes for the bees” with the walking stick he found. He made us a treasure map and we followed it. Found the river and then followed the sun - the “treasure” was back at our house 😂 Also found some tree fungi that I need help on what it is. #naturewalk #forestlovers #fungi

I got to ARC read this fun novella! By @jazpate_wr I got to ARC read this fun novella! By @jazpate_writes Like watching a DM run a quick two-player adventure, or zoning in to an instance of EverQuest 2 solo. It was nostalgic like wrapping myself in a dungeon blanket. 

This litrpg is told in second person narrative which really adds to the atmosphere of feeling like you’re at a Ttrpg table or at your computer questing in an mmo. The story takes place in one location that’s described in a way so that you can feel the cobwebs dangling from the ceiling. 

The orc is very much an orc with lots of breaking the fourth wall humor. As someone who always bashes the crates in the room, I identify with Karen Krushbone. Cozy moments, silly but you love them anyway characters, sapphic romance, and a boss battle twist. Recommended for ttrpg, mmorpg, and rpg video game fans! #sapphicbooks #litrpg #dndadventures

This book arrived yesterday. I love the cover and This book arrived yesterday. I love the cover and I’m excited to read this cozy story! By @amandacanwrite 

Juniper Harlow had always been a nervous young woman. Particularly when it came to the social obligations of a well-to-do family in a small village. There were only very few exceptions: her parents and her childhood friend Oleander Ambrose. He always seemed to understand her fears and often went out of his way to act as a shield against the perils of social interaction.

Oleander didn’t mind. After all, he wanted nothing more than to make Juniper his wife. As far as he was concerned, it was his duty to protect her.

When Oleander left to attend conservatory to gain his sorcerer’s diploma, Juniper was left to handle the overwhelming expectations of the people around her on her own. Which, for her, meant to avoid them entirely, retreating into her work as an herbalist.

When Oleander did return, he was unrecognizable, and Juniper and Oleander found themselves navigating an unexpected chasm in their once intimate friendship. Oleander, ever patient with his childhood love, was more than ready to move at her pace. #cozybooks #cozyromance #fantasybook #newbookstoread
